I often find that people can misconstrue lyrics to a great extent. For example, Metal lyrics can be rebellious, grotesque, violent, and "indecent". Or so, that's what they're considered. The problem with this is that people aren't looking for the underlying messages within the lyrics. They choose to take it literally, and shun it, instead of searching for the bigger picture. This bothers me immensely, and I've seen it with many other genres of music. Does this bother you? Also, do you often try to find the true meanings of songs? Discuss.

Most people think Closer by Nine Inch Nails is about sex when it's actually from the needle's prespective going into a herion addict. If you look closely to the lyrics it makes a lot more sense that way then it does for sex.

Lyrics have been misunderstood in songs for a long time. Even a hendrix song, "Scuse me, while I kiss the sky, was misinterpreted by some to be "Scuse me, while I kiss this guy." Many times people hear lyrics and don't even give it the Benefit of the doubt and believe what they want to believe. Which is stupid.
